# VG Reverse Engineering

> VG Reverse Engineering decodes Vainglory: Community Edition replay files into recorded player names, heroes, K/D/A, items, gold and scoreboard counters. Its offline tools also export JSON and CSV, maintain a SQLite catalog and document VGR record and event interpretation. Output records provenance and leaves unsupported values unresolved.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** Python 3.12 or newer for the offline decoder; the complete regression suite also requires Node.js 18 or newer.
- **Prerequisites:** A user's own .0.vgr recording and numbered sibling files are needed for decoding a match.
- **Limits:** The source says recordings lack a client build identifier and currently cannot enter its definitive-analysis subset.
- **License:** No licence file in the repository.
